Chapter 284 Target, Nika Fruit! (2-in-1)

A piece of information was passed to the navy branch of the Solbe Kingdom.

Early the next morning, sharp whistles resounded throughout the North Port of the Sorbey Kingdom. The warship Dawn, which had been docked in the port for a long time, slowly sailed out of the military port pier in the early morning sunshine.

On the bow of the Dawn warship, Ji Guoyuan held one hand on the railing and the other on the hilt of the knife at his waist, looking at the wide sea with deep eyes.

"Finally there is news."

"If we get that thing, we should be able to break the delicate balance between us and the world government!"

As soon as Ji Guoyuan looked at the sea, he had a lot of thoughts in his heart.

After entering the South China Sea, on the surface, Jiguoyuanyi has been operating the construction of the South China Sea branch, but in fact, Jiguoyuanyi spent a lot of money to build his own intelligence network.

When the Navy Headquarters cut off material support for the Sword of Dawn, it also cut off intelligence support.

Enichi Jiguo, who left the New World and entered the South China Sea, was like a blind man without the support of his headquarters' intelligence, unable to see the full picture of the South China Sea.

In order to be able to grasp all kinds of news as soon as possible, Jiguoyuanyi will spend great efforts to establish an intelligence network.

In fact, Ji Guoyuanyi's scattered intelligence network did not further dig up information about the revolutionary army at all, but simply monitored the "resistance movements" in various places in the South China Sea.

Those "resistance movements" were internal conflicts within the country, and Jiguo Yuanyi had no intention of intervening. And in his opinion, the current way the Revolutionary Army is acting has some merits. At the very least, their appearance can awaken some people who are not completely numb.

Jiguo Enichi did not devote all his attention to the revolutionary army. His intelligence officers were more focused on collecting information about various devil fruits.

No matter what kind of devil fruit it is, it is what Tsukoku Enichi needs.

It has to be said that the Devil Fruit is not of much use to Enichi Tsukuni himself, but the Devil Fruit is very useful to the navy under him.

Not everyone is Enichi Tsukoku, and not everyone is Mihawk.

There are many geniuses in this world, but there are very few geniuses who can truly grow into top experts.

The existence of Devil Fruit can break the shackles of human talent, allowing those geniuses who should not be the top powerhouses to step into the ranks of the top powerhouses and become an indispensable help in Jiguoyuan's hands.

Facing the world government, Ji Kuni Enichi has no delusions about changing anything by relying on his own abilities. He needs partners, many strong partners who share a common dream.

Several Sword of Dawn branches in the New World are also working on collecting Devil Fruits, but for a long time, the results have been unsatisfactory.

On the one hand, this is because the maritime environment in the New World is harsh and it is inconvenient for the Navy to move. On the other hand, there are many powerful pirates in the New World. Often, after the Navy gets relevant information and attacks, those Devil Fruits have already fallen into other people's pockets. Where to go.

Compared to the New World, there are a lot of Devil Fruits left in the four seas, and the sea environment is relatively gentle. The navy's information flow is faster, and it will be more advantageous to fight for Devil Fruits.

Pirates all over the world have short-sightedness, and there is no such thing as a devil fruit illustrated book to distinguish the abilities and attributes of the devil fruit in their hands.

For most pirates in the world, instead of eating a Devil Fruit and betting on the fruit's powerful ability, they might as well resell it on the auction block and earn hundreds of millions of beli.

The purpose of eating a powerful Devil Fruit is to better grab treasures and live a luxurious life. Now, skip the intermediate process and directly sell the Devil Fruit you get, and you can immediately live a luxurious life. It is obvious how to choose.

The vast majority of pirates really don’t go to sea for the lofty ideals and ambitions they have in mind.

More pirates are actually like Crow, the captain of the Black Cat Pirates who tried to seize Keya's family property. They just want to make a lot of money and live a prosperous life.

Who is willing to fight and kill when he can be a rich second generation? After all, not everyone is Azu, right?

Since Enichi Jiguo entered the South China Sea, he has been collecting information about Devil Fruits. His personnel have also penetrated into other sea areas. And just yesterday, Enichi Jiguo's intelligence network finally brought him some useful news.

In the East China Sea, sighting information of the superhuman rubber fruit appeared.

Ji Guoyuan never thought that the intelligence network he had established would give such a big surprise the first time it showed its effect.

The true form of the rubber fruit is the nikah fruit.

Sun God - Nika.

The purpose of Tsukuni Enichi's pursuit of this fruit is not to eat it himself. He just wants to see with his own eyes whether the Nika fruit really has some kind of will that can automatically evade recycling by the world government!

"Is it worth the trip in person?"

"For something like that, just ask Ferrander to go there, right?"

"He has already mastered four of the six navy styles. In a place like the East China Sea, with his ability, it shouldn't be a problem to recover a superhuman devil fruit, right?"

Ji Guoyuan looked at the sea in a daze. At this moment, slight footsteps sounded behind Yuanyi. Mihawk walked to the bow of the ship, sat down on the bench next to the ship's side, and raised his head slightly to look at Yuanyi. , asked aloud.

"Felander has indeed made great progress over the years, but I'm afraid he won't be able to handle this matter."

"It's not just me, the world government is also taking action."

Ji Guoyuan shook his head slightly and said.

Hearing this, Mihawk raised his eyelids with a little surprise in his eyes: "World Government?"

"What's wrong with that rubber fruit?"

Mihawk doesn't like to think too much about messy things, but that doesn't mean he's not smart. Sometimes Yuanyi has to admire Mihawk's keenness.

"Well, that's a big problem."

"That Devil Fruit's original name is Nika Fruit."

When Enichi Jiguo's words fell, Abel, who was standing quietly not far from the bow of the ship with his hands shackled and wearing a black mask, was shaken and looked at Enichi Jiguo involuntarily. Beside him, Bartholomew Bear, who was wearing a brown cloak and a holy robe, also had his eyes slightly wide open, his face full of astonishment.

"Nika?"

The bear couldn't help but murmur, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes. Those memories buried deep in his heart immediately surged out the moment he heard the name. The time in the Holy Land of Marinjoia was the time he least wanted to recall, but it was also the only time he spent with his parents.

Abel's condition was also similar to that of the bear. Memories were flooding in his mind. The scene of running away with his relatives when he was young slowly appeared in front of his eyes.

"General of the successor country!"

"Are you going to snatch that rubber, no, that Nika fruit?!"

Xiong quickly came to his senses and quickly came behind Jiguo Yuanyi. He looked at Yuanyi emotionally and asked. At this time, Abel also looked at Enichi Tsukuni with a hopeful look on his face.

if

If the Jiguo Enichi in front of me eats the Nika Fruit, then Joeyboy, who liberates the world, is

If it’s Jiguo Enichi

Before Ji Guoyuan could open his mouth, Xiong was immediately shocked, punched himself in the chest, and continued towards Ji Guoyuan:

"General of the successor country! If your purpose is to snatch the Nika Fruit, no matter what, I will help you get it!"

When Xiong said this, Abel had also come behind Jiguo Yuanyi, clenching his fists. Although he did not speak, under the black mask, a pair of bright eyes stared at Jiguo Yuanyi, his eyes filled with tears. It's expectation.

Sitting aside, Mihawk crossed his legs, raised his eyes and glanced at Xiong and Abel, who were a little embarrassed, and then shook his head.

These two people still don’t understand Jiguo Yuanyi well enough!

"The purpose is to steal the Nika fruit."

"But it's just a try. You don't need such a big reaction."

"About Devil Fruit, isn't there a legend that has been circulating in this sea?"

"Legend has it that a Devil Fruit will choose its own owner."

"If this is true, then whether we can get the rubber fruit is still unknown."

Jiguo Yuanyi's mentality was very calm. After hearing his words, Xiong and Abel also calmed down somewhat.

They have also heard of the legend told by Ji Guoyuan. Of course, the materialist warriors do not believe it, but Xiong and Abel are both people of faith. They have always believed that one day the liberation fighter Joey Boy will come. Liberate the world.

Therefore, both of them believed in these mysterious things.

"Do your best and obey destiny."

"Calm down."

"Whether I get the Nika Fruit or not, what I want to do will never change!"

"What?"

"The warship Dawn is about to enter the windless zone?"

Navy Headquarters.

After Tsukuni Enichi's warship left the Sorbey Kingdom, Navy Marshal Sengoku finally got specific information about Tsukuni Enichi's movements on this day.

Originally, when Enichi Tsukuni left the Sorbey Kingdom, Sengoku didn't take it to heart. After all, Enichi Tsukuni often went to sea for more than a year. However, before Jiguoyuan left the Solbe Kingdom, he was still on the border of the South China Sea, but this time, Jiguoyuan was actually preparing to leave the South China Sea.

After learning the news, Sengoku couldn't sit still, and immediately called Jiguo Enichi to inquire.

But the reply he got was

"Going to the East China Sea to relax is just like giving myself a vacation."

"Don't worry, I won't show mercy to the pirates I encounter on the way."

Regarding Enichi Jiguo's reply, Sengoku had no choice but to be angry. He only asked Enichi Jiguo to go out this time and not cause any big trouble again.

A certain area of ​​the East China Sea.

The bright moon hung high, and the bright stars gathered into rivers of stars, covering the entire night sky.

On the sea, the water waves rippled gently, and the starlight and moonlight reflected on the sea, making the sea still bright at night. A huge warship was parked on the calm sea. Under the moonlight, the red hull looked a little dark.

At this time, there was a huge round table in the middle of the deck of the warship. There was rich food on the table, and fragrant wine filled the wooden barrel cups in front of everyone. Everyone's eyes were focused on On the young man sitting in the main seat at this time.

It was a young man in his early twenties, wearing an inappropriate straw hat on his head. Under the straw hat, red bangs blocked the corners of the man's eyes.

On the knee of the straw hat youth, there is a little girl sitting at this moment. She is about three years old and has a cute bob hair. What is amazing is that this girl's hair is actually half pink and half white, which is unique. .

At this time, the little girl was held in the arms of the straw hat youth, looking at the small cake placed in front of the table with some greed. There were three small candles on the cake.

"Boss!"

"Let's start quickly!"

"Look, Uta can't wait!"

During the banquet, a fat man wearing a green striped short shirt shouted loudly. As his voice fell, other people in the banquet also heard urging sounds.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Then let's get started!"

"Uta, come on, tell everyone, how old are you this year?"

The straw hat youth said, gently picked up the girl on his lap, and asked softly.

The girl who was held in her arms smiled and stretched out two fingers, saying softly: "Three years old!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of laughter suddenly erupted from the banquet.

Next to the red-haired young man, Ben Beckman, who had his head straight up, raised his forehead and said to the straw hat young man: "Shanks, your education is not very good!"

"Is this three?"

As he spoke, Ben Beckman gestured "Yeah" to Shanks, with the corners of his mouth raised and a smile on his face.

Shanks couldn't help but grin when he saw his daughter's gestures. After hearing Beckman's ridicule, Shanks helped Uta raise a finger and corrected him.

"Uta, this is three."

"Three years old!"

The young Uta didn't know what the crew were laughing at. Seeing everyone happy, her little face also showed a bright smile. After Shanks corrected her, Uta also stretched her fingers and stretched out again. He picked up three sticks and said crisply to the crowd:

"Three years old!"

The crew members cheered when they saw Uta comprehending Shanks' meaning.

Shanks also smiled and rubbed his daughter's head, picked up the wine glass, and shouted to everyone:

"To celebrate Uta turning three this year, cheers everyone!!"

After Shanks finished speaking, all the crew members raised their glasses and cheered. Uta, who was held in Shanks' arms, also stretched out a finger, lightly touched the cake, and put the cream in it. There was an intoxicated smile on his face.

The group of people holding a birthday party under the stars are the red-haired pirates.

Nowadays, the Red Hair Pirates are not well-known, and Captain Shanks is just a little pirate with a bounty of 30 million Baileys.

However, in a place like the East China Sea, this kind of pirate with a bounty on his head can be called "rare".

Since the Pirate King Roger was executed in Rogue Town, Shanks formed his own pirate group, found his own partners, and started his own adventure.

Over the years, he has been active in the East China Sea. Although he carries the name of a pirate, what he does does not attract too much attention from the navy.

Therefore, until now, there is only a bounty of 30 million Baileys.

Uta is actually not Shanks' own daughter. She was picked up by the red-haired pirates after they defeated a group of pirates. When they picked her up, Uta was placed in a blood-stained treasure chest. , placed together with gold, silver and jewelry.

Now, three years have passed since Uta was picked up by the red-haired pirates.

On the pirate ship, the crew members of the red-haired pirate group exchanged glasses, happily drinking wine and eating meat.

More than an hour later, Shanks, who was swayed left and right by his subordinates, took the already somewhat sleepy little Uta back to the cabin.

The birthday party on the deck lasted until late at night before it ended.

The crew members who drank too much fell asleep directly on the deck. Even Beckman leaned on the railing and fell into a deep sleep.

"Boss!!"

"captain!!"

"Something happened! Something big happened!"

Early the next morning, a violent knock on the door woke Shanks from his sleep. He slowly got up from the bed. Shanks glanced at the small bed not far away and saw his daughter sleeping soundly, yawning and stepping on the bed. Slippers went to the door and opened it.

"Jiji."

"Ji Guoyuan came to the East China Sea!"

As soon as Shanks opened the door, Jesus put a newspaper into Shanks' arms. Upon hearing that familiar name, Shanks suddenly woke up and looked down at the newspaper.

The front page headline of the newspaper was the news that Jiguo Enichi's warship had entered the windless zone.

Through "grapevine", the media speculated that the purpose of Jiguo Yuanyi was the East China Sea.
